Changing a Flat Tire

If a tire goes ﬂat while driving, grasp the steering wheel ﬁrmly, and brake gradually

to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the ﬂat tire with the compact

spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or

replaced.

Getting Ready to Change the Tire

Park the vehicle on a ﬁrm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the parking brake,

shift to Park (CVT models) or Reverse (manual transmission models), and turn the

vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.

1. Open the cargo area ﬂoor lid.

2. Take the tool case out of the cargo area. Take out

the wheel nut wrench, jack handle bar, and jack.

3. Unscrew the wing bolt and remove the spacer

cone. Then remove the spare tire.

4. Place a wheel block or rock in front and rear of

the wheel diagonal to the ﬂat tire.

5. Place the compact spare tire (wheel side up)

under the vehicle body, near the tire that needs

to be replaced.

6. If necessary, put the ﬂat tip of the jack handle bar

into the edge of the wheel cover*. Carefully pry

the edge and remove the cover.

7. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the

wheel nut wrench.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)—Required Federal Explanation

U.S. models only

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inﬂated to the inﬂation pressure recommended by the

vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inﬂation pressure

label.

(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inﬂation pressure label, you should determine the

proper tire inﬂation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped

with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates

a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is

signiﬁcantly under-inﬂated.

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inﬂate them to the

proper pressure.

Driving on a signiﬁcantly under-inﬂated tire causes the tire to overheat

and can lead to tire failure. Under-inﬂation also reduces fuel efﬁciency

and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping

ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,

and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even

if under-inﬂation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the

TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator

to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS

malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will ﬂash for

approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This

sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the

malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able

to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that

prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or

more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement

or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function

properly.
